May the forest be with you

May you remember the sail ship
white wake behind, seabirds about
When the bedrock begins to slip
When life's purpose is in doubt

May you remember every friend
When enemies surround
When only on few can you depend
And harshness is the only sound.

**(Chorus)**
May the mountains come in waves
That lift you up from under.
like desert rain that saves.
Like a cavalry's thunder. 

When there's no arrow in your quiver
And when they say you did betray
Think of rafting that foaming river
To wash the bitterness away.

When they hem in your universe
Hold fast to what is true
When life goes from bad to worse
May the forest be with you.
